FYI: The use of the admin_dbname and admin_lockfile relations in
kdc.conf is *no longer supported*, and I believe they have been
removed from the kadmind man page and other documentation (if not,
they should be).  The code still supports them for testing purposes
(ie: the existing OV tests depend on them), but no other code needs
to.  There is no good reason for those names to be individually
controlled, and if they are individually controllable the dump/load
process can become significantly more complicated.

I have no objection to Mark's load_v4 patch so long as it does not
interfere with the normal behavior, which is everything deriving
from the dbname specified on kdb5_util's command line.
